Feels so weird that she's a 4yo. She's got a G2 placing and that breeding so I can't blame them for deciding if she's just not gonna get her form back to breed her instead of taking a risk. It's a shame she had issues. This is the first I'm hearing of breathing problems.

Incidentally, Wine Princess apparently finished 2nd in her debut in a turf sprint. Did anybody see it? Can't imagine that she won't want longer.

She's by the Ghostzapper, so if by "longer" you mean "more time between starts" I would tend to agree.

At least they waited until she was 3 (although I won't hold my breath that it was by choice) before bringing her out. Azeri didn't start until the fall of her 3yo season and judging by the careers of Take Control and Arienza, it looks like the offspring ought to follow suit.
